Isle La Motte School officials had whittled $62,980 off the original proposed $1,229,347 budget, which lost 99-69 on Town Meeting Day.

Murray said Isle La Motte voters on Tuesday did approve a non-binding advisory referendum asking if they support the designation of a school to tuition students for grades pre-K to 6th grade. The tally was 83-62, she said.

Murray said 152 voters of the 375 on the town checklist turned out for voting at the Town Hall.

School Superintendent Robert Phillips said the voters have spoken and the board will tackle the budget again.

"The families and students are anxious to hear how the School Board plans to provide them a quality education," he told the Burlington Free Press.

The School Board had sent a two-page letter to voters outlining the budget changes since the original proposal was rejected on March 3.

Chairwoman Louise Koss wrote the board was able to provide the newest budget information. Some areas had increases, others had decreases and some showed no changes with an overall cut of $62,980.

Three of the five towns in Grand Isle County rejected school budgets on Town Meeting Day, while Alburgh barely approved its budget by three votes.

North Hero also rejected its second budget proposal. North Hero voters head to the polls in June for a third try.
